Ziga Boy makes history with second Sky Bet Chase success

Sat 28 Jan 2017

Ziga Boy produced a brilliant front-running display to become the first dual winner of the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster.

Alan King's grey had failed to get his head in front since his success 12 months ago in the race formerly known as the Great Yorkshire Chase, but performed well enough when third here last month to suggest his turn might not be far away.

After being sent straight to the front by Tom Bellamy, Ziga Boy jumped impeccably throughout the three-mile contest and turned for home with a clear lead.

Looking Well finished strongly, but Ziga Boy never looked in serious danger of being caught and came home three and a half lengths to the good.
